Somerset (Ky.) April 12. John
and Henry Hill and Mary Smith
were arrested yesterday for the mur
der of two robbers who mysteriously
disappeared a few days ago. The
Smith woman tells the following
stery: "I was staying with Henry
Hill when two peddlers eamo to the
house and wanted to stay all night.
They were shown a room up stairs.
John Hill then came over and he
and Henry began to concoct a plan
to murder them. They told mo to
get a quilt and follow them. We
went up stairs and they compelled
nie to throw the quilt over the heads
of the sleeping men, then Henry
gave me u knife and told me to cut
their throats or they would kill me.
I did so and caught the blood in a
dish pan and threw It in the road.
The bodies were then thrown to the
hogs who devoured them. The men
had about $200 on their persons.

Portland, April 11. The repub
lican state convention assembled in
the Masonic temple hr this city at
11 a. in., and was called to order by
Hon. Joseph Simon, chairman of

The organization was perfected by
tho election of Geo. H. "Williams, or
Portland, as temporary chairman.
On assuming the position Mr. Wil
liams, in his usual eloquent style,
presented the position of the repub
lican party, showing a very hopeful
situation. He knew that Oregon
was a republican state, and was
fully persuaded that not a solitary
republican could bo induced to
desert his post, and help an admin
istration that was endangering the
best interests of tho country and tho
principles that they had so faithfully
battled for. While making no ob
jection to proper work on the tem
perance question, but believing in
its earnest prosecution, ho deprecat
ed the action ol'tho prohibition party
in their evident intention to bend
every etl'ort toward defeating the
republican party. He wa-. pleaded
to observe tho perfect harmony that
prevailed, and tho evident intention
of every republican of sticking by
and working for the nominees of the
convention.
On motion John H. Sluipe, of
Douglas county, was elected tem
porary secretary and O. P. Miller, of
Clackamas county, assistant secre
tary. On motion C. E. Moore, of JJen
